Paul Harvey comments on Colombine High shootings:
 
 How can we blame it all on guns?  For the life of me, I can't understand what could have gone wrong in Littleton, Colorado.  If only the parents had kept their children away from the guns, we wouldn't have had such a tragedy.   Yeah, it must have been the guns.

 It couldn't have been because half our children are being raised in broken homes.

 It couldn't have been because our children get to spend an average of 30 seconds in meaningful conversation with their parents each day. After
all,   we give our children quality time.

 It couldn't have been because we treat our children as pets and our pets as children.

 It couldn't have been because we place our children in day care centers  where they learn their socialization skills among their peers under the
 law of the jungle while employees who have no vested interest in the children look on and make sure that no blood is spilled.

 It couldn't have been because we allow our children to watch, on the average,    seven hours of television a day filled with the glorification of sex and
 violence that isn't fit for adult consumption.

 It couldn't have been because we allow our children to enter into virtual worlds in which, to win the game, one must kill as many opponents as  possible in the most sadistic way possible.

 It couldn't have been because we have sterilized and contracepted our families down to sizes so small that the children we do have are so  spoiled with material things that they come to equate the receiving of the material with love.

 It couldn't have been because our children, who historically have been seen as a blessing from God, are now being viewed as either a mistake  created when contraception fails or inconveniences that parents try to raise in  their spare time.

 It couldn't have been because we give two-year prison sentences to teenagers who kill their newborns.

 It couldn't have been because our school systems teach the children  that they are nothing but glorified apes who have evolutionized out of some
 primordial soup of mud by teaching evolution as fact and by handing out  condoms as if they were candy.

 It couldn't have been because we teach our children that there are no laws of morality that transcend us, that everything is relative and that  actions don't have consequences. What the heck, the president gets away with it.

 Nah, it must have been the guns.
